Sales tax is possible depending on your state.
I.e. In Texas, the sale of a website as a product is sales taxable.
The sale of a website as a business venture (i.e. selling your business) would be subject to capital gains taxes, etc, but it should be structured as a business sale, or else it would be considered a product.

Consult a local accountant or attorney for the rules in your jurisdiction.
